Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2652 KP) rated What Time the Sexton’s Spade Doth Rust in Books
Sep 25, 2024
I had thought the series ended with the previous book five years ago, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this up for preorder. It was fun to revisit Bishop’s Lacey and catch up with Flavia. However, I still find her cousin Undine extremely annoying and not as funny as she is supposed to be. The pacing of the mystery was good, but there were parts of the plot I didn’t care for. And I certainly could have done without all the talk about the crime scene. I’ve often found this series uneven, and this entry fit that description for me.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Mrs Doubtfire has become something of a cult classic over the years and its impressive script means it still remains relatable today – and just as hilarious.
Chris Columbus, who later went on to direct the first two Harry Potter films crafted a near-perfect adaptation of Anne Fine’s Madame Doubtfire. Most people don’t realise the film is based on a novel, and I have to admit, I only discovered this a few years ago.
Even decades after its theatrical release, Mrs Doubtfire proves films can still throw up a few surprises if you look deep enough.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2652 KP) rated Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle (Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
This book is filled with fun short stories as the kids quickly realize why they wouldn't want to have their own way all the time. These cures are a bit more realistic than some in later books, so I love the later books better. Still, this is a fun introduction to a charming character.
